Chapter 0003 Wealth is hard to enjoy, there are always tribulations
In the face of Menzi's threat, Kou Ji was unafraid.
He took out the official fuse from his bosom, as well as the letter sent to him by Kou Li, and threw it in Menzi's face.
In Menzi's angry eyes, he said coldly: "See clearly and then reply, if you want to bully the master with slaves, I don't mind teaching you the rules." ”
When Menzi heard this, he was also stunned.
The young man in front of him was obviously more imposing than those who came to cheat before.
He quickly picked up the official fuse from the ground, and after reading it carefully, his face changed.
"Papa~"
After reading the official fuse, Menzi didn't say a word, raised his hand and gave himself two big mouths.
Then he cried with a sad face and said in a mournful voice: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he doesn't know that the little young master is in front of him, so he really deserves death." ”
When he had said this, he prepared to lie on the ground.
Kou Ji frowned and said coldly, "No need! ”
Menzi's face was even more bitter, and he said in a pleading voice: "Little young master, it's not that the villain is rude, it's really that there are few people who come to the house every day to swagger and deceive, and the villain is also afraid of those liars." ”
"Okay, I don't blame you, take me into the house to meet my grandfather and father."
"Please! You please! ”
Menzi heard that Kou Ji was not to blame, and immediately accompanied Kou Ji to enter the house with a smiling face.
At the main entrance of the mansion, there is a huge shadow wall, which blocks the scenery behind.
There is a cursive inscription on the shadow wall.
It's a pity that Kou Ji doesn't know a word.
Bypassing the shadow wall, I saw the front yard of the main hall, which covers an area of one acre.
The front yard is paved with bluestone, and in the middle is a huge sink with a few lotus flowers, and the occasional carp emerges from the water and spits bubbles.
There are various bonsai on both sides of the courtyard, the pines and cypresses are green, and the rest are just green shoots in early spring.
Menzi crossed the shadow wall and shouted loudly.
"The little master has arrived!"
"The little master has arrived!"
“……”
A woman, an old man, heard the cry and came out.
The old man was dressed in a long robe and wore a black square hat; The woman was dressed in a green Luo skirt and had a golden hairpin on her head, showing that her identity was not ordinary.
The old man arrived in front of Kou Ji, looked up and down, and said suspiciously: "You are ......"
Menzi handed over the official certificate fuse with interest.
When the old man saw it, he frowned and handed the letter to the woman.
When the woman had seen it, the two of them saluted Kou Ji together.
"Kou Zhong has seen the little young master......"
"Little woman Su Huiniang, I've seen the little young master......"
Kou Ji didn't know the identities of these two people, so he just nodded and said indifferently: "No need to be polite." ”
Menzi enthusiastically introduced on the side: "Little young master, Steward Kou is the head of the house, and Steward Su is the steward of the inner courtyard. ”
Kou Ji didn't say much when he heard this.
Kou Zhong and Su Huiniang had no intention of continuing to speak.
Kou Ji felt a faint sense of alienation from these two people.
The two of them, to become the housekeepers of Kou Mansion, must have followed their grandfather Kou Zhun for many years, and from the attitude they felt from the two of them, they could more or less guess Kou Zhun's attitude after seeing him.
It seems that his identity as a young master is not very valued in Kou Mansion.
In the same way, his cheap father is afraid that he will not get much attention in the Kou Mansion.
"Not down yet?!"
Kou Zhong snorted coldly.
Menzi nodded and withdrew from the front yard.
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Lead the way, I'm going to see my grandfather." ”
Kou Zhong arched his hand and said lightly: "The master and the uncle are talking in the main hall, you want to see the master, but I am afraid that you will have to wait until the evening." Why don't you let Hui Niang arrange a room for you and rest first? ”
Kou Ji's brow furrowed even tighter.
According to common sense, Kou Zhun recognized Kou Li as a slave, and Kou Li had his son, then Kou Li would become the master of the house, and Kou Zhun would be promoted to an old lady.
But Kou Zhong's title made him hear some different flavors.
Kou Li doesn't seem to have been approved by Kou Zhun......
If he didn't get Kou Zhun's approval, why did Kou Zhun recognize him as a servant?
Could it be that during the period of time when he came to Bianjing, something happened that made Kou Zhun change his opinion of Kou Li?
Kou Ji's mind raced.
Kou Li was not recognized by the Kou Mansion, but he was afraid that he would become an empty and famous Kou Zhun servant in the future.
He, the grandson, will naturally become an empty grandson.
What did he come to Bianjing for?
In order to enjoy the rich.
If you become an empty and famous grandson, how can you enjoy wealth?
Whether to meet Kou Zhun or not, for Kou Ji, it doesn't matter.
But the ancients emphasized filial piety.
He, a junior, entered the house and lived there without worshipping his grandfather first, which would be considered a loss of filial piety.
So that Kou Zhun was even more disappointed in their father and son?
That's it.
Kou Ji said bluntly to Kou Zhong: "You want to prevent me from being filial to my grandfather? ”
Kou Zhong was stunned for a moment, and didn't dare to say anything.
After the apology, he still said lightly: "The master and the uncle have important matters to discuss, and it is related to the government and politics, so it is really inconvenient to be disturbed." ”
Kou Ji handed over the burden in his hand to Erbao, looked at Kou Zhong and said, "Where is my grandfather, you just have to take me over." Grandfather is inconvenient to be disturbed, I can wait! ”
Seeing Kou Ji's tough attitude, Kou Zhong couldn't stop him anymore.
He winked at Su Huiniang.
A smile immediately appeared on Su Huiniang's face, and she beckoned to Erbao, "The little young master is going to see the master, so you can go to the wing room with me and settle down first." ”
Erbao shook his head decisively and said innocently: "I want to follow the young master." ”
Su Huiniang was stunned and looked at Kou Zhong.
Kou Zhong's eyes fell on Kou Ji, looked at Kou Ji carefully, and bowed forward.
"Come with me!"
Kou Zhong led Kou Ji and walked a few steps to the front of the main hall.
The door of the main hall was open, and you could faintly see the calligraphy and paintings displayed inside, as well as the smoke curling inside, but there was no human figure.
"Just stand here. When the master finishes talking to his aunt, he will naturally recruit you in. ”
Kou Zhong bowed down and said a word, giving Su Huiniang a look, and the two left here.
Kou Ji led the two treasures and stood at the door of the main hall.
Kou Zhong left the front yard and asked Su Huiniang to open a small portal on the side of the corridor.
He slipped into it and appeared in the middle courtyard.
The courtyard of the middle courtyard is far more luxurious than the front yard.
Rockeries, pavilions, lakes, swimming fish, trees and flowers, you name it.
Inside the gazebo.
An old man and a middle school, sitting cross-legged on a thick blanket, are cooking tea and chatting.
The old one, about sixty years old, with white hair and hair, thin and weak, wearing a Shu brocade robe, bent his fingers and beating his knees.
He was about forty years old, with gray hair in his hair, but he was rich, sitting cross-legged on a blanket, with a small oval belly faintly protruding from his belly.
He was holding a small mill, grinding the cardamom, salt cubes, spices, and tea balls in front of him into powder.
After Kou Zhong arrived at the pavilion, he did not enter the pavilion, but stood outside the pavilion and saluted respectfully.
"Master, aunt, the little master has arrived, waiting at the door of the main hall......"
"Little master?"
Kou Zhun and Wang Shu were both stunned.
Wang Shu stopped his hand and said suspiciously: "Yuan'er is here?" Shouldn't he be studying in Taixue at this hour? ”
